I think that the songwriter is regretting lyrics he has written in the past that perhaps have painted people in not the brightest tones... Same dilemma that every artist has, their own opinion of their work almost always gets more negative as time progresses and they change.. (ie Rivers Cuomo) More specifically, I think the line "sing a long.....hum along" means that the lyrics aren't really necessary when the music can tell the story.
